Fish Addition Suggestion?

[ocean diver]

I have a blue throat trigger and love him......he eats like a pig, nori, frozen brine, mytys shrimp what ever I feed. I love the way they move around and has a great personality.

NO not at all, doesn't even think about it

You can read minds

Or have you threatened him?

Thanks for the input Its nice to see the addition to a fish I was pondering about 3 months ago. I talked myself out of it but time to do research!

Haha oops !! I forgot to add I have a snowflake eel..

I would say get one you will love it like I do and if you can find a mated pair I would go with that for sure!!!!!!!

I would not recommend a blue throat trigger. They're really cool fish, I have one in fact. But I think they're too smart and too active to be kept in boxes. Mine is exhibiting the sort of stereotypical behaviours you typically see in zoo animals like polar bears. It paces the exact same path in the tank over and over, doing the exact same thing on every revolution of it's circular path. If I could find someone with a 500+ gallon tank that wanted him I'd sell him in a second.

Well that is very unfortunate, I've read alot on the Triggers and in fact the blue throat as many reviews I could from owners and I feel like its just not the right fit in my aquarium. I agree they're great personality wise but Asyl I feel like a 120 - then later a 200G is just not big enough for the dude. Also if I noticed the same behavior that your BT is exhibiting I would most definetly have to give him up.

wrasses are always cool and colorful addition to the tank, and if money wasnt an issue the rombod, and the haiwian flame would be super nice. a lot of the flashers are nice to.

may be a powder blue, a regal, a naso, and an achillies for now and use that as an excuse to get a bigger tank later lol, thats what i'm doing lol minus the achillies lol
